Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate incidence correlation by sensitivity specificity positive predictive value and negative predictive value between anticipated difficult airway by using Modified Mallampati classification and FRONT score and incidence of difficult intubation with the Cormack-Lehane grade visualized at the time of laryngoscopy.Timepoint: After Consent during Pre Anaesthesia Checkup—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the duration of laryngoscopy duration of intubation and number of attempts of successful intubation.Timepoint: At time of intubation—
